FLV MIME type with IIS

December 11, 2008 · Posted in General, Video · Comment 

This is something I often have to do when setting up a new server, if you’re planning on using FLV video with the site:

  1. Open properties and “HTTP Headers” tab
  2. Select “File types”->”New type”
  3. Enter .flv for extension and “video/x-flv” for content type

Pretty simple, but if you forget to do, could leave you scratching your head for some time, thinking “Now, why don’t my f#$@ing video player work?!”.
